"Tortuga marítima"

It's definitely a strange feeling to drink morning coffee from a mug I made and eat my own homemade sourdough bread. I feel like younger me would be amazed. Sometimes I wish I could see myself through the eyes of that younger version, or anyone else really, because I often get caught up in thinking about things that didn't go well instead of the magic that's already happening in my life. Maybe you need this reminder too - to look around, see where you are right now and all the things you already accomplished, even if you went through hell to get there.

ctrl+f, obviously: search/find, will search a page/document for a word or phrase

ctrl+c / ctrl+v: copy/paste, highlight text and hit ctrl+c and it'll show up again when you hit ctrl+v

ctrl+x: cut, it does the same thing as ctrl+c but it deletes the text, again it'll show up when you hit ctrl+v

ctrl+z / ctrl+shift+z: undo/redo. ctrl+z will undo whatever you just typed, ctrl+shift+z will put it back.

ctrl+a: highlights all the text on a page. this one is a real unsung hero.

ctrl+p: print document.

ctrl+s, ctrl+shift+s: save, save as (for when you're working on a document or project that needs to be saved. note that i don't think ctrl+shift+s works on microsoft word anymore for some godforsaken reason)

also, if you're working with text and you press control while pressing the arrow keys, your cursor will jump from word to word instead of letter to letter. saves a lot of time if you're proofreading/formatting.

be sure to check individual programs and system settings to see what other shortcuts might be available to you. some people have mentioned ctrl+t opening a new tab in a browser, for example.

The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun

I grew up with this book, which is frickin’ enormous, and it was endlessly fascinating to young me to pour over the side by side comparison of events taking place concurrently under different headings and in different parts of the world.

Or if you want something you can put on your wall, there’s this:

Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500

✨️with a special focus on colonialism, militarization, automation, and enclosure✨️

Clearly we're all very busy, so let's motivate each other to get through April with a productivity challenge! Here's how it'll work:

Make a tumblr post listing all your goals for April, like this. It can also include a little introduction about yourself.

Use the tag "april days of productivity" for every post.

Starting on April 1st, do one small thing everyday that brings you closer to achieving your goals. You can post about it everyday, or every few days.

Once you've achieved a goal, update the tumblr post from step 1! You can strike through your goal, or anything else to show you're done with it!

On the 30th of April we'll congratulate ourselves for getting through this together! <3

Reblog this post if you'd like to participate, and comment if you have any questions!
